Wyoming Becomes the First County in the World to Achieve Dark Sky Certification

Teton County, Wyoming, has been recognized as the world’s first International Dark Sky Community by DarkSky International, a move aimed at combating light pollution, which hampers stargazing. This accolade highlights the area’s low population and extensive protected lands, including Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. Additionally, Jackson Hole Airport has become the first U.S. airport to earn Dark Sky Certification by updating its lighting to adhere to DarkSky guidelines. Beyond stargazing, light pollution poses significant environmental risks, affecting circadian rhythms and disrupting local wildlife, including insects and migratory birds. Stargazing enthusiasts can find dark skies in many locations, even if they’re not in Teton County.
